KTM RC 125 Deliveries Begin Across India

Deliveries for the entry-level, full-faired KTM RC 125 have begun in India. The baby KTM RC 125 is the brand's smallest full faired offering and shares its underpinnings with the KTM 125 Duke. The RC 125 is priced at an introductory price of Rs. 1.47 lakh (ex-showroom India). The KTM Rc 125 takes on the Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 at its price point, and it will be interesting to see if customers flock to the KTM dealerships instead of Yamaha for a small capacity track tool. The RC is about Rs. 7000 more expensive than the R15, and is about Rs. 17,000 more expensive than the 125 Duke. It does get a number of changes over the Duke including clip-on handlebars, projector headlamps, LED DRLs, and of course, the full fairing.

The components on the KTM RC 125 are shared with its larger capacity siblings and the bike uses the WP-sourced USD forks up front and a monoshock unit at the rear, while braking performance comes from ByBre with a 300 mm disc at the front and a 230 mm disc at the rear, while single-channel ABS is available as standard. Power comes from the 124 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that has a compression ratio of 12.8:1 and belts out 14.3 bhp and 12 Nm of peak torque. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox.

The baby RC offers a dedicated riding position and can be a great entry-level track bike for those looking at a taut handler without too much power. A lot of younger buyers will also appreciate the motorcycle for its equipment and performance, which does not come at a too expensive cost. The KTM RC 125 is available in two colours - white and orange.

KTM AG, meanwhile, has a number of offerings lined up for the second half of the year. This includes the much awaited 390 Adventure, new RC family, updated Duke family and more. All of these models are expected to have a global unveil at EICMA in November this year, and will slowly make their way to the Indian market by early 2020. There's also the 790 Duke that has been in the works for India but rumours suggest that homologation issues have pushed the bike's launch to the end of 2019 or possibly by early next year.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto.

Honda 850 cc Parallel-Twin Engine Revealed In Patent Filings

Image
Latest patent images from Japan seem to indicate that Honda may be working on an all-new 850 cc, parallel-twin engine. And the new engine, with more displacement to meet the Euro 5 emission regulations, will replace the current engine on the Honda NC750 range, with the engine and chassis shares amongst several Honda models including the Honda NC750S naked bike, the NC750D Integra scooter, the NC750X adventure tourer, as well as the Honda X-ADV adventure scooter. None of these models are offered on sale in India, but with new emission regulations looming around the corner in Europe, Honda is possibly looking to explore an increase in displacement to meet those norms.

Indian FTR 1200 Rally Revealed

Image
Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look. There is a new rally windscreen as well, which sits atop the headlamp. Also Read: Indian FTR 1200 Review (The Indian FTR 1200 Rally gets the same engine as the standard FTR 1200.
